Hm...
I live in Georgia so if I thought if things hard I could come up with tons. I have lived here my whole life so everything SEEMS normal and everywhere else is strange.

Um. I dont do it but every carbonated beverage is a Coke. You go to ATL and you ask for a Coke they will ask you what kind.

Suckers are small... Lollipops are those big flat ones that you get in candy stores.

hm. I will think.

Mainiacs say wicked for very

Example:

It's wicked cold outside.

Um, I can't think of anything else except they say Oregon "Ore-gone" and Nevada "Nev-ah-da" It makes me want to kick them in the face.

GAH!!!!!!!!!

Ew, I met this one person who pronounced Nevada , Neva-duh (I pronounced it Nev-ah-da or Nev-aw-da). It bugged me SO much!

Oh, and I had a friend who replaced the word cool with radical.

Idiot. Whenever they used to say that, I would tell them to "shut up, go home, and watch 'Rocket Power' as it was probably they're favorite show."

Not so much a word, more of a phrase......

when refering to something there is a lot of, here in Ohio......(keep in mind I have family frum kintucky)..

It would be something along the lines of.... Well .."she has more more teeth missing, the Carter had liver pill's....... I say this phrase way to much in RL.
